We have always attempted to backpack as lightweight as possible, but in 1998 we decided to
make a more conscious effort to learn and try Lightweight Backpacking techniques.

Our Lighweight Backpacking section was created in a frames format. If you are reading this
text, your browser lacks the ability to read frames. Don't worry, you can still enjoy our
Lightweight Backpacking section. All pages can be viewed from the
contents page.

Note: The frames format has it own `index' page with links for moving back and forth
between pages. Since this is not available in this `non-frames' format, you will have to use your
Browser `Back' button (to return to the contents page) when
you are done viewing each page.
